Objective: This study aimed at identifying political modernization in Jordan and its future effect on the executive and legislative authorities (the house of representatives) based on the amendments to the constitution as well as the laws of parties and elections passed in 2022 in accordance with the Royal Committee to Modernize the Political System in 2021.
Method: the analytical descriptive approach, the legal approach, and content analysis approach.
Results: firstly, political modernization will have a significant positive effect on the legislative authority (house of representatives) in terms of structure in the future; and secondly, political modernization hasn't affected the executive authority in terms of the way through which it has been introduced; however, when the parliamentary action is completed in all its forms in the Jordanian political system in the future, the way of its emergence will be addressed in order to identify the titles of partisan governments.
Conclusion: the first being the necessity of continuing the political modernization efforts started by the Jordanian state in the legislative authority (house of representatives) and the executive authority; the second being the maintenance of the texts of the elections law without change while taking into consideration the possibility of amending articles as necessary in the future, in accordance with the aspirations that will take place to the legislative authority (house of representatives) and executive authority.
